Public Lecture Tomorrow at the Ship Pub…

The State of Terror and the Promise of Democracy

Tuesday, September 24, 2013, 8:30pm – 10:00pm

Ship Pub, St. John’s

Department of Philosophy

St. John’s Public Lectures in Philosophy. Dr. Peter Gratton (Memorial, Philosophy) will present.

(I’m under the weather with a nasty bug just as I’m trying to figure out what to talk about–so we’ll all be a bit surprised by what comes out when I work around that title.)

Reading David Farrell Krell on Derrida and our Animal Others | Progressive Geographies

Reading David Farrell Krell on Derrida and our Animal Others | Progressive Geographies.

Stuart Elden has some thoughts on Krell’s latest. I just got it myself last week. I haven’t worked on Derrida’s last two seminars (the subject of Krell’s book) since I read them for the sections on sovereignty. Kelly Oliver’s latest book also takes up the sections on animality at some length, so this is a good chance to dive back in (well, next month: first up is a couple of lectures I’m giving in the next month and finishing up the introduction to the Meillassoux Dictionary).
